Pune: Three men, who were on the run after robbing imitation jewellery worth Rs 16,700 from a jewellery showroom at Laxmi Chowk in Hinjewadi on Friday morning, were nabbed at Amboli by the Sindhudurga police on Saturday afternoon. The police have recovered two country-made pistols from the trio. The suspects had barged into Shivmudra Jewellers at Laxmi Chowk in Hinjewadi on Friday morning and robbed the jewellery at gunpoint.
They failed to rob more jewellery following the resistance of the owner, Sudhakar Patil. They escaped from the spot in a car. Sub-inspector Tukaram Shelke of Hinjewadi police told TOI, "We were tracking the suspects.
After getting information that they were heading towards Amboli Ghat, we immediately alerted the local police." Assistant sub-inspector Datta Desai of the Sawantwadi police told TOI that the Hinjewadi police alerted the police station about a gang of robbers travelling towards Pune via the Amboli Ghat section. "We blocked the road at the entrance of the Ghat.
After noticing the car, we blocked its way. They tried to escape but we caught them," Desai said. He said that the police recovered two country-made pistols and the robbed jewellery from the suspects: Altaf Khan (24), Govinde Diwani (23), and Raturam Bishnoi (26), all from Hinjewadi.
They have been charged under the relevant sections of the Indian Arms Act. "The trio was produced before the court on Sunday and remanded to police custody till August 6," Desai said. Desai said during questioning, the arrested trio revealed that they were working in a furniture shop located a few metres away from Shivmudra Jewellers in Hinjewadi.
"The trio claimed they had some arguments with the furniture shop owner, who did not pay their salary. Following this, they hatched a plot to commit robberies,” Desai said.
